PEORIA, Ariz. – Way back when, Cowboys president and general manager Tex Schramm was Jerry Jones before Jerry Jones.
He was an innovator, like the first man to figure out how to direct television coverage of the Winter Olympics, the 1960 ones in Squaw Valley. Tex was ahead of his time in many aspects, and brought that forward-thinking aspect to the Dallas Cowboys when they came into the NFL in 1960.
See Tex is part of the reason why there has been so many Dallas Cowboys fans in the state of Arizona. New Mexico, too.
